Hello all. I am in awe of some the skills people on this site have. Typically I like to build 60’s muscle cars, but when I came across this kit at Ollie’s for about $7, I thought I’d give it a go to try some basic body work and modifications. This is a police car snap kit that was to me very cartoonish. I had a few different ideas on ways to build it, but settled on the typical low rider look (kind of like the car form the movie Cobra). I used stretched sprue to fill all of the holes in the body for the light bar, spot lights and antenna. I cut the vent windows out to give it a longer, lower appearance and darkened the chrome to fit the overall look. It’s lowered about as much as I could. I smoothed out the body the best I could, tons of seams and I got rid of the drip rails. The body is airbrushed with craft paint and cleared with Future floor polish. The wheels came from a 57 Chevy donor. For a snap kit, the fit was awful, but I still had a good time customizing it
